Description

Greenway Viaduct is a railway viaduct built around 1864. It is constructed from coursed stone rubble with rock-faced granite arch rings and features ten round arches supported by rectangular piers. The central pier is larger and includes a pilaster buttress. The viaduct has low parapets and spans 495 yards, bridging a steep wooded valley on the east side of the River Dart. The Dartmouth and Torbay line was opened in 1859, and this section from Churston to Kingswear was started in 1862 and completed in 1864.

Local climate

Greenway Viaduct receives an average of 900 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 67% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 92% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 5 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 97% of listed buildings. Of these, 2 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.2°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
